Theben
100 Years of Theben – Building Automation Since 1921
In 1921, the light in a stairwell in Stuttgart switched off automatically for the very first time. The reason: an innovative time switch developed by Paul Schwenk. What started as a simple mechanical device marked the beginning of building automation – and the founding of Theben.
From Humble Beginnings to Global Player
Founder Paul Schwenk, born in 1889, began his career as a precision mechanic and developed his first stairwell timer in 1918 as a graduation project. In 1921, he founded his own company, which quickly gained recognition for its innovative, durable, and high-quality products.
Innovation Through the Decades
- 1934: Launch of the ELPA stairwell timer – a milestone in automation.
- 1960s: Significant growth driven by smart advertising, environmental awareness, and employee well-being.
- 1976: The theben-timer takes Europe by storm – now with over 33 million units sold.
- 1995: Theben contributes to the development of KNX, now the global standard for building automation.
- 2018: Introduction of LUXORliving, Theben's smart home system.
Theben Today
Under the leadership of Paul Sebastian Schwenk, Theben remains focused on innovation and sustainability while honoring its roots. With subsidiaries in France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, and Australia, Theben has a truly global presence.
A Family Business with Vision
Since its inception, Theben has been a family-owned business with a heart for people. Employees, innovation, environmental care, and social responsibility are at the core of our mission. This makes Theben not only a technology leader but also a true "Great Place to Work".
